Description
The Rabbit Hole has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners, blending characterful period features and charm with contemporary design. The result is a beautifully crafted family home set in a tranquil surrounding, with an open countryside view and rural feel.
The property sits behind secure electric gates and enjoys a high level of privacy, complemented by thoughtfully landscaped gardens and stylish outdoor entertaining areas.
The spacious reception hall features flagstone flooring and a cosy library nook leading into a characterful sitting room boasting exposed timber beams and an original inglenook fireplace.
The modern kitchen/breakfast room with grey shaker-style cabinetry, butler sink and a central island enjoys full-width bi-fold doors offering views across the terrace and gardens.
Two ground-floor bedrooms and a well-appointed shower room offer versatile accommodation, while upstairs features three further double bedrooms with one benefitting from en suite facilities and another accessed by its own staircase offering flexibility as an office or further guest bedroom. A family bathroom completes the first floor.
The new kitchen extension was added in 2022, the main building was renovated at the same time, and now benefits from an air source heat pump and new underfloor heating. The roof was given a brand new thatch ridge by a master thatcher in 2020.
